What happens after the discovery process is finished?

Once the vision document is approved, the skill recommends transitioning to requirements elicitation where the scope is broken down into actionable user stories.

Why should I use Discover and Define before I start coding?

It ensures you are solving a real problem for a specific user. It prevents scope creep and wasted development time by defining what is NOT in the project as clearly as what is.

What is the 'Iron Law' of this skill?

The Iron Law states: 'No requirements without a clear problem statement first.' It forces you to articulate the pain point in one sentence before proposing technical solutions.

Can I use this for small personal projects?

Yes. In fact, it's highly recommended for solo developers because it helps maintain momentum by cutting unnecessary features and focusing on a minimal viable product.

How does this skill handle project documentation?

It automatically generates a comprehensive vision-and-scope.md file in your docs folder, covering problem statements, user classes, success metrics, and risk mitigation.

生产力与工作流

Transforms vague ideas into structured project visions with defined scope, success metrics, and risk assessments before development starts.

The Discover and Define skill acts as a specialized AI business analyst within Claude Code, ensuring every project begins with a clear understanding of the problem and the intended solution. It follows a rigorous 'Iron Law' that prioritizes problem-solving over feature-building, guiding users through a step-by-step discovery process. By establishing SMART objectives, identifying specific user classes, and enforcing strict 'In Scope' vs. 'Out of Scope' boundaries, it prevents scope creep and ensures that development efforts are aligned with high-impact goals.
